Can anyone tell how old that tree is by counting the rings etc. or does anyone bother any more.What a load.About how many board feet would you estimate in it?
How much do they usually haul on them?I have heard that they are 13' bunks.Thanks,Ron G

camptramp That truck pulling the low bed went on to be our H119 and the push truck became H156 I think! What do you think? The lowbed truck is a Crown Z truck and the push truck was one of your BCFP winch truck's. Do you recall any of those?

These pictures would have been taken after Timberwest had changed over from Off Highway hauling wood to Honeymoon Bay DLS , to Highway Trucks hauling wood to Shoal Island DLS . The 5th wheel had been changed on the #40-91 from small CZ King pin size to larger BCFP King pin size to handle Lowbed . Lowbed truck #40-91 exCZ truck , push truck #40-138 ex BCFP truck #6-260

Blk prince I think they walked the shovel up on the bed Chained the grapples on the gooseneck then swung the loader around and left the lines lay against the side of the loader. That way they are not hanging or chained right in front of the push truck We do this all the time Works good

I've often wondered if that could happen. Bump in road, or something broken off.

2 possibillities 1 the trailer wasn't sitting in the "Rider Bars" properly when leaving the trailer reload at log dump and /or hit a bad bump along road . In any event its a good time to be in the good books with the operator of a "Self Loading Log Truck" to sit trailer back on rider bars properly .
